I got lucky a few days ago and stumbled across this Erfurt 1917 Kar 98a. Its got a matching bolt but the bottom metal is missing because it was in a horrible and ill fitting stock with a blind magazine.

As part of the deal, I got rid of the stock. It currently has a slim .257 roberts barrel on it.

I like it because it has a rear apeture sight and is not drilled on the forward reciever.

All things are pointing towards a scout scope set up.

I have not decided on calibre yet but I have been thinking of 8, 9 and 9.3x57 as well as 9.3x62 if possible.

Since hanging around this site, I've gone off the synthetic stocks a bit, but I'm not sure a scout scoped rifle looks any good with a traditional stock.

Thoughts?
